The presented study is aimed at estimation of production cost for composite extruded snack supplemented with 26 % milk protein (casein). The prepared snack is also rich in β carotene, the precursor of vitamin A and is also high in dietary fibre that efficiently facilitates bowel movement. Apart from the production conditions being simulated, the work towards the estimation of the production cost for the snack was based on several assumptions with prime being 300 days of plant run and 400 kg snack production capacity per day. Various heads namely, land and building, plant and machinery, manpower, administration, utilities, raw material, manufacturing, packaging, marketing, logistics etc. were taken into account while estimating the expenditure for the production of the snack in a running plant. Finally, the cost of production for composite extruded snack supplemented with milk proteins was estimated at Rs. 16.54/ 50 g.
